The BMW reports seem to overstate the actual MPG rating in the US. The 28i currently gets a combined 21 MPG rating, but the BMW report (for canada) says 25.

Canada uses imperial gallons for MPG don't they?

It's based on the bmw ca website which reports in liters per 100km. I just did the conversion.

"Speed Limit Info inkl. Überholverbotsanzeige" means "Speed Limit Info including overtaking display"

What is overtaking display?
"Überholverbotsanzeige" means "No Passing Sign". So the system picks up speed limit and no passing signs for display. Up to now, that has not been available in the US.

For the USA, the new F30 328i was recently rated as 24 MPG City and 36 MPG Highway (USA gallons). See here:

What do you USA guys think it will be in the X3? How much do you think the AWD and extra weight will reduce those numbers?

(By teh way, ignore the picture in that website. It's an incorrect photo of a E90)

By the way, I'm really excited to hear the N20 engine will be coming to the X3 in USA. I was doubtful that a 4 cylinder could drive an SUV nicely, but after driving the Audi Q5 with its 4 cylinder turbo, I'm now a believer. The Q5 was quite zippy and I only imagine BMW's engine will only be zippier and faster. In fact, I thought the Q5 felt better with the 4 cyl engine than the 3.2 6 cyl engine.

I think I might wait until later this year in purchasing a BMW X3 with the N20 engine. What's funny is that I'm an Audi die-hard fan. But the extra quickness and suburb gas mileage of the N20 engine is too hard to pass up. I drive a lot on the highway and could use an engine that sips gasoline.

Compare the numbers for the 335 and you can see that it's not good for much gain at all. You're looking at a couple of MPG difference combined.

Pricing

The German price for the 4-cylinder is 300 euros up on the 6-cylinder. The equipment levels for the base model are exactly the same.

So for the US model, pricing is unlikely to be a distinguishing factor in deciding to choose for the 6-cylinder now or the 4-cylinder later. In fact, they are likely to go up by a few hundred bucks as well.
